Madeline: Look at yourself. Admire yourself. See your beauty. You can learn to shoot. You can learn to fight. But there's no weapon as powerful as your femininity. Madeline strokes Nikita's cheek and puts her hand on her shoulder. We're family now, Nikita.

Operations: It's been two years. That's our policy. We start making exceptions, we're no better than the CIA. Cancel her.

Operations: If she fails, you fail.

Nikita: You knew?

Michael: We had to see if you could improvise. Did you get the PDA?

Nikita: Why didn't you tell me this was a job, instead of pretending?

Michael: No matter what state of mind you're in, you have to be able to perform.

Nikita: You're sick. You don't want a person, you want a machine. I can't do that.

Michael: You just did.

Michael: Section One is the most clandestine organization on the planet. It's our job to bring down the criminals and terrorists that no one else can get.

Operations: Nikita remains a puzzle, she continues to break Section code, and yet she manages to succeed.

Michael: What code did she break?

Operations: Please, Michael, you've been here long enough. Information is what we do here. If you don't think that I know every detail of every operation... Why didn't you find Julie the first time you went to Nikita's apartment?

Michael: I looked everywhere.

Operations: One would think you didn't want to find her.

Michael: That's not true.

Operations: Nikita's not a trainee anymore. She has to be held up to the same standards as everyone else. If you can't demand that of her, then you both become a liability. That'll be all.

Michael: You don't have to like the job. You just have to do it. I'll be at the party tomorrow night. His perimeter security is very tight. We'll have to work from the inside. You'll be briefed in the morning. And, ah, get rid of the cat. It's a distraction. When you walked in, it was the first thing you noticed. If I were an enemy, you'd be dead by now.

Nikita: Sometimes I think you are the enemy.

Michael: I came to apologize.

Nikita: You know you're becoming very predictable, Michael. You lie, then you say you're sorry. You lie, then you say you're sorry. Can you come up with anything a little more interesting?

Nikita: How did he get here? What's his life like outside? Does he even have one?

Madeline: Would knowing the answers make you perform your mission more efficiently?

Nikita: It might.

Madeline: Is it his life you want to know about, or his heart?

Nikita: Does he even have a heart?

Madeline: Michael loved once, very deeply.

Nikita: Simone.

Madeline: Some men can only love once. Whether Michael's like that or not, I don't really know.

Nikita: Gee, Madeline, I thought you knew everything.

Madeline: I know what I need to know, Nikita. If you can say the same, you'll be all right. Get some rest.

Nikita: Good night, Madeline.

Nikita: Michael?

Michael: We're on standby, so I thought that we could go over that plan again.

Nikita: I know the plan. I'm sure you do, too.

Michael: May I come in?

Nikita: Of course.

Michael: Then we could have that cup of coffee... or the drink.

Nikita: All right.

Michael: No need to leave the apartment. Whatever you have will be fine.

Nikita: What if I'm out of everything?

Michael: That will be fine, too.

Nikita: Are you trying to seduce me? I've never been able to figure you out. Why should today... be different?

Michael: It's very simple... after Simone, I thought if I ever cared for anyone again... it would have to be someone from outside the Section, but I was wrong. No one from the outside can understand who we are. We fight all the time just to stay alive. Let's not fight what's between us. Let's take what we can get.

Nikita: You mean there's a backup system?

Michael: He won't get far. And anyone who went with him, wouldn't have either.

Nikita: You knew about his plan all the time, didn't you? This was all one big manipulation to keep me from going with him, wasn't it?

Michael: To keep you alive.

Nikita: But why? Why bother?

Michael:(He says nothing)

Nikita: Welcome back, Michael.

Nikita: Your cameras. I'm not having them in my apartment any more.

Operations: You're not?

Nikita: No. And if you don't like it, you can-

Operations: We can what?

Nikita: Cancel me, because I'd rather be dead than watched like an animal in the zoo.

Nikita: What are you telling me? That I can't see him? That I can't care about him?

Madeline: One or the other. Your choice.

Nikita: Can I go now?

Madeline: The world outside these walls is an illusion. It's not really there for us. We're ghosts

Walter: You can't dwell on what you can't have. Nikita, look, if you lost an arm you could spend the rest of your life depressed because you can't play the piano... or

Nikita: Or?

Walter: Or, you could learn to sing. Do this guy a favor, sugar... learn to sing.

Nikita: This place, the Section, is full of lies! They talk about all the innocent people they save, well what about the innocent people we hurt? Like the four year old girls who are left just wondering why they've been abandoned?

Michael: You were warned. You should have never gotten involved. You still believe in free will. In here there's no such thing.

Nikita: You keep telling me that, Michael, but I don't believe you anymore. You couldn't handle it, could you? You got jealous of Gray because I love him and not you.

Michael: You don't love me?

Operations: If you think we just played an impersonal game of global espionage… The fact is, what we do here is try to ensure the safety of every man, woman, and child in this so-called civilized world. There is such a thing as evil. It exists. It’s an insidious force that trickles down to innocent people. Now when we fight that force, we help save those innocent people.

Michael: She's not in love with me. She'd feel the same about any man that treated her well.

Nikita: I see. So, that makes it okay?

Michael: If you feel so concerned about her, tell her to break off with me. She trusts you, she'll listen. But, first make sure that you're willing to watch more innocent people die while we stand by and do nothing. Because that's what will happen if we don't get the Book.

Michael: When I was in there and things started to get bad... [...] I thought I was gonna break, but I didn't. I thought of you. You're the only one of us who still has a soul. I'm so sorry, Nikita. We'll never leave this place alive. I don't know what love is anymore... but the only part of me that's not dead is you.

Nikita: What about all your words?

Michael:(He says nothing)

Nikita: I finally get it. I finally know... what attracts me to you. It's the character you pretend to be. The real Michael disgusts me, I'm sure.

Nikita: I almost did once, I don't know why I didn't. I put everything out of my mind. Even the things that I didn't want to forget. Do you know, for three years all I did was dream about getting out of the Section. When I did, it wasn't what I expected. This isn't freedom. This isn't freedom...

Michael: After the explosion, I started to believe you didn't make it out in time. I thought you were dead. When I saw you in Lyons, it brought me back. I never realized I needed you so much.

Nikita: Will we be able to see each other on the outside?

Michael:(He tell nothing)

Nikita: I had a dream last night, you said some things to me, you revealed your feelings.

Michael: Sometimes all we have is our dreams.

Nikita: Closer.

Nikita: You went through a lot of trouble to bring me back here . . . I want to know why!

Nikita: All right, Michael. So, what is this? So, I went out for dinner. What do you care?

Michael:(He tells nothing).

Nikita: Patented Michael answer, the blank stare. If you are jealous, just be jealous. Tell me not to see him.

Michael: Is that all it would take?

Nikita: Maybe . . . Maybe not. But at least it would be something real. Emotion. Except of this cryptic game of 20 questions.

Michael: You are right. I shouldn't have asked.

Nikita: So that's where we stand. You really don't care if I see Jurgen?

Nikita: I won't lie to you, I'm not happy to be here. But it's not about getting out anymore.

Michael: This is never an easy job, sometimes unbearable for all of us. I respect Jurgen for who he is and what he tried to do. But there are certain things that are absolute. Jurgen could not be allowed to hold Section hostage.

Nikita: How could you do this Michael?

Michael: I just told you.

Nikita: Not to him, to me.

Michael: It was never my intention to hurt you.

Nikita: So that makes it ok? How far back does it go? My training with Jurgen? Or when you brought me in? The night we had together?

Birkoff: Everybody's been contacted. Walter needs you in inventory.

Michael: In a minute.

Nikita: Well, that's the first time you had the section wait for me.

Michael: When you were in his house, I was listening. I had to keep my feelings separate. That's how I live my life, Nikita. Split in two. I never let anyone see the other half, but it's there, always part of me.

Nikita: Well, that's just too little, too late. I am going to help Jurgen through this, if he lets me. Oh, I've become part of his life.

Michael: Nikita, some of the things I said about Jurgen are not true. I tell you this just in case you have any doubt as to what kind of man he was. I'm sure you don't. Jurgen trained me when I first came to the section. I'll miss him.

Madeline: I already have. I've decided he's going to recover. His will to live is very strong. Your will to save him has to be strong, too. I'll help you. Go back inside. Tell your colleagues to do the possible...then the impossible...and then the unthinkable, until he's out of danger. Because when you're finished, Doctor, that room will contain either four living men... or four corpses. Do you understand?

Madeline: Has Petrosian offered you my position yet?

Nikita: Yes.

Madeline: And what did you say?

Nikita: If I say no, he's going to offer it to somebody else.

Madeline: That's not the point.

Nikita: What is the point?

Madeline: The point is you don't have what it takes to do my job. And, if you try, you'll only end by destroying yourself.

Michael: Am I under orders to please you?

Nikita: Of course….. not. He can make it easier for us. We could have the chance to spend more time together outside Section.

Michael: I wouldn't put too much trust in him.

Nikita: Okay, well, if I'm dealing with the devil, it's because sometimes the devil is the only one open for business. But that's not the problem, is it? Michael, it bothers you that I have so much more power now. You don't like it. Maybe it even makes you a little...uncomfortable.

Michael: No.

Nikita: Shall we just have a drink? No more games, no promises, just a drink.

Nikita: Birkoff. I need a favor.

Birkoff: Personal favors are against regulations. Walter said we're all living by the book now, even Petrosian's little pet.

Nikita: Wrong, Birkoff. Petrosian's little pet gets what she wants, or what they did to Walter will look like a foot massage compared with what I do to you if you mess with me.

Madeline: I think it's pretty clear. Operations is a better choice than Petrosian.

Nikita: Better for whom?

Madeline: If you had doubts, why did you side with us?

Nikita: Petrosian was willing to give me a life, as much as one can have inside Section. But in order to get it, I lied, I bullied, and, who knows, eventually I might have even… killed in cold blood. In other words, I found out what it's like to...to be you.

Madeline: And you didn't like it.

Nikita: No, I didn't.

Madeline: Power is addictive, Nikita. You've had a taste. It's in your blood now.

Nikita: You're wrong.

Madeline: You'll be back. It's only a matter of time. But there'll be one difference. The next time… I'll be waiting for you.

Petrosian: You can't have sympathy with another persons weakness. You must use the weakness to control the person.

Nikita: Of course.

Petrosian: Everyone has a weakness, whether it is status, love of praise, a lover, a mother. Or simply the desire to go on living. You find a weakness, you control the person. Do you understand?

Nikita: Why would you protect him at all? After all the lectures to me about sacrificing feelings ... for the greater good, hm?

Michael: I'll take care of it, Nikita.

Nikita: There's something you're not telling me.

Michael: Just stay out of it.

Michael: I asked you to stay out of it.

Nikita: Yes, you did. You should try talking to me the next time, Michael. Maybe you'll get better results.

Nikita: Why are you in his debt?

Michael: My sister.

Nikita: Your sister?

Michael: After my parents died, I ... took care of her. ... She was still very young. When I was arrested there was no one to help her. René took her in. Even after he thought I was dead he kept providing for her.

Michael: He had no reasons to do it, except out of kindness.

Nikita: Didn't you tell me once that you can't separate the man from his actions? He's still a terrorist.

Michael: To me, his actions are that of a friend.

Nikita: Michael, disengage. Let the Section sort this out.

Michael: It's too late. A profile's been set. I'm not sure I can do it.

Nikita: Why are you telling me this?

Michael: I wanted you to know in case something happens to me.

René: How could you?! Huh?

Michael: I'm sorry.

René: You have no soul ..., no honor! Defend yourself! I said, defend yourself! You once said that a person can define themselves by what they are willing to die for. I will die for a belief. You will die because you have none!

Michael: It's best to be ruthless, but if you are not, it's essential to appear that way.

Nikita: Is that your secret, Michael? You just appear to be ruthless?

Operations: You still don't understand what you are dealing here, do you? You think you are a lonely beacon of decency in an insane world or something like that. Isn't that true? The section isn't me or Madeline or Michael. It's bigger, deeper, smarter than any of us.

Nikita: You make it sound like it's alive.

Operations: Oh, yes, and we all walk a narrow path to keep it that way.

Nikita: Path without feeling, compassion, or hope.

Operations: Yes.

Nikita: We die so the section can live.

Operations: Yes.

Nikita: I can't accept that.

Operations: You have no choice, Nikita. No one does, especially me. Do you understand?

Nikita: I understand that you are talking to me for once.

Operations: With most operatives, self preservation takes over, compassion is the first thing to go.

Michael: She's different.

Operations: Have you tried, Michael, really tried to crush out her feelings?

Michael: Of course.

Operations: You succeeded with so many others, why not her?

Michael: She's strong.

Operations: Is that the only reason?

Michael: Yes.

Operations: But we can't be allowed to love our friends... or hate our ememies.

Michael: We got off on the wrong foot, it was partially my fault. I'd like to make amends.

Andrea: It was nobody's fault. No amends are necessary.

Michael: No amends then, just pleasure.

Andrea: Forget dinner, Michael, it's not gonna happen.

Michael: Ok, how about a cup of coffee? I'd like to get to know you better.

Michael: Good morning.

Andrea: Hi.

Michael: I had a great time last night.

Andrea: You talked me into coffee, then you managed to talk me into dinner, but this is as far as it goes.

Michael: Why?

Andrea: Because I like it here. Most people hate Section, or pretend to, but I like it.

Michael: So do I. Doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves.

Andrea: Section isn't exactly about enjoyment. The sniper wear, the weapons, the missions, those are real. Everything else is an illusion. People who forget that don't last long.

Michael: Everything is as real as we make it. No more, no less. It's up to us. If you change your mind, let me know.

Andrea: Michael, anything wrong?

Michael: Everything's fine?

Andrea: I think I could love you. It's Nikita, isn't it?

Michael: What do you mean?

Andrea: You had a relationship with her. At least that's what people say. Is it true?

Michael: Yes.

Andrea: Did you love her?

Michael: Does it matter?

Andrea: Does to me.

Michael: Yes, I loved her.

Andrea: And now?

Michael: Now, there's you.

Walter: Well, I'm really not interested in surviving anymore. What I am interested in is living. That's where the real difference is. Oh, hell, I've being hanging around this place for too long already.

Nikita: Walter, don't talk like that again.

Walter: It's like I always said, you are one of the good ones. Don't change.

Andrea: I'll be finished here in an hour. Want something to eat?

Michael: I'm busy.

Andrea: How about later?

Michael: It's a bad time right now.

Andrea: What do you mean?

Michael: Just what I said.

Andrea: Did I do something wrong?

Michael: It's nobody's fault, some things are just not meant to be.

Andrea: Let's at least talk about it.

Michael: We have.

Andrea: Did he just get through to me just to prove he could? Is he that much of a monster? Is that what he did to you?

Andrea: He can't do this, we can't let him get away with it.

Nikita: What does that mean?

Andrea: I mean we have to do something.

Nikita: Michael, she tried to kill you. What are you gonna do about it?

Operations: You confuse me Madeline. If you don't want to enjoy my company, then why did you agree to open things up again?

Madeline: I didn't open anything up, I slept with you. There's a difference.

Operations: Ok, then why did you sleep with me?

Madeline: Because you wanted it.

Operations: And you didn't?

Madeline: That's irrelevant. The foreplay was becoming a distraction to both of us. It was affecting your work and decisions, and in turn affecting mine.

Madeline: What we had, has been over for years, the other night doesn't change a thing. I think you need to face that.

Walter: Adrian founded this place. She's the mother of Section One.

Adrian: Sit down, please.

Nikita: Why don't you just quit with the English gentility and tell me what you want from me?

Adrian: Together my dear, you and I are going to destroy Section One.

Adrian: No, I don't suppose you would. After all the only coping mechanisms you have intact is that Section protects the innocent. If you didn't believe that you'd have been gone long ago. One way or another.

Michael: You know what. It's gone too far Nikita. They won't let this pass. If there was ever a time you had to trust me... it's now.

Nikita: Ok, Michael, now you lost me.

Michael: You're in over your head.

Nikita: Take your hands off me, please.

Michael: Now listen to me. If Adrian succeeds, every operative will be canceled. No exceptions. They will roll up Section like it never existed. And if you think Adrian can protect you, you're wrong. Where's Adrian?

Nikita: I don't know.

Michael: Where's the file?

Nikita: I don't know.

Michael: You're lying.

Nikita: I don't know.

Michael: Why... why? This is your last chance. Our last chance. Where's Adrian?

Nikita: I don't know.

Michael: Then you leave me no choice.

Michael: Go.

Nikita: What?

Michael: Outside you have a very small chance. Back at Section you have none. Go now.

Nikita: What's the point, I'm not going to run.

Adrian: My only regret is that I brought down with me a very brave young woman. I'm sorry Nikita, more sorry than I can say.

Operations: Excellent work, Nikita.

Madeline: That's why we selected her, because of her ambivalence. She didn't deceive you so much as she allowed you to deceive yourself.

Nikita: It's over when I say it's over.

Operations: I don't have to justify anything to you.

Nikita: Today you do. Section's on trial. Defend it.

Nikita: Operations. Is that what it's about? Controlling the world?

Operations: We will control whatever we have to, to prevent the dark ages from descending again on the human race.

Adrian: Choose carefully, Nikita. There will never be a moment like this again in your lifetime.

Nikita: Michael, any words of wisdom?

Michael: What have you seen with your own eyes?

Madeline: Yes. Are the crimes we've committed worse than the crimes we've prevented? And the people we've brought down, is the world a better place without them?

Nikita: Yes it is.

Madeline: Then you have your answer.

Nikita: I didn't enjoy deceiving you, Michael, but Adrian was listening, it had to be real.

Michael: You have at least six hours before they make a decision. You're level two, they'll have to clear with oversight.

Nikita: I told you before, I'm not going to run.

Michael: They'll cancel you.

Nikita: Probably.

Nikita: I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.

Madeline: ...I'd rather deal with one recalcitrant operative than a mutiny. [...] Increase her mission frequency. Eventually, the problem will take care of itself.

Michael: I don't think you want to see the Section destroyed. But that is what will happen if you don't abort this mission.

Madeline: Why? Because you think this made a difference? Next time, Michael, pick your conspirators more carefully. We fed Birkoff false information. You'll never be able to link us to Adrian's death. Not as long as I'm here.

Madeline: He as well. It's true our original intention was to eliminate you. That's been changed.

Nikita: Why?

Operations: You're no longer a threat to us.

Madeline: And your value as an operative remains strong. That will be all.

Nikita: Michael... your marriage to Elena. What is it?

Michael: It's a mission.

Nikita: She an operative?

Michael: No.

Nikita: She doesn't know.

Michael: No. We're after her father.

Nikita: So you're deceiving her to secure your cover? (Michael gives her the blank stare.) Is the child yours?

Nikita: I don't know. Maybe nothing, but I have to try.I have to try. I can't leave these women here, I have to help them. Michael, you've got a sister. When you went to prison, she was all alone. She could have ended up in a place like this if she hadn't been helped.

Operations: ...But the question is, what kind of relationship do I have with you? Why don't you admit you were jealous and you still have feelings for me.

Madeline: Of course I do. Admiration, respect, friendship.

Operations: If I thought your feelings went beyond friendship, I'd make this whole thing go away. Otherwise, I'll have to let bureaucracy take its course. And that could be very unpleasant.

Madeline: Don't do this.

Operations: In the tower, tonight, ten o'clock

Nikita: How do you do it? How do you stay sane? What's the secret?Walter: Knowing when to lie, and when to tell the truth.Nikita: To them?Walter: To yourself. At night you go to bed knowing you live in hell. That's the truth.Nikita: And the lie?Walter: And you wake up in the morning thinking that this day may change everything…you'll escape, you'll fall in love, they'll close the place up and send everybody home.Nikita: Then that night you have to face the truth again.Walter: Yeah. But in the meantime, you've accomplished something that's truly remarkable. You've made it through another day.

Madeline: Not too weak. Sarah, I know you’re more comfortable here alone. Being with other people has always been difficult for you. And if you choose to stay here, I’ll leave. But if you want to do something that will help many people, save many lives – then you should come with me now.

Michael: What is it about me that scares you?

Sarah: I guess... I guess I find a different reason every time I meet a man…not that I-I meet that many.

Michael: And what reason are you giving yourself this time?

Sarah: You’re handsome. You probably get everything you want from women. Which means you’re not very nice.

Michael: You’re right.

Sarah: Do you have a girlfriend?

Michael: No.

Sarah: But you love someone, don’t you?

Michael: Why do you say that?

Sarah: I don’t know. You seem like you’re thinking about someone.

Michael: We’re not here to talk about me.

Sarah: I thought that you were here to make me feel comfortable.

Michael: I am.

Sarah: Talking about you does make me feel comfortable.

Michael: Okay. I’ll tell you about her.

Nikita: Nothing. It’s just unusual. You sticking your neck out to help.

Madeline: Hello, Nikita. Have you had your meeting with Michael yet, or were you on your way to it? Whenever your last meeting with Michael was, I hope you made the most of it. It’s the last one you’ll ever have.

Nikita: They tried to reprogram me. I had to let them think they'd succeeded.

Michael: When did it start?

Nikita: Genefex Mission.

Michael: You weren't at the rendezvous point.

Nikita: Birkoff sent me upstairs and Madeline was waiting. I was tranq'ed. I don't know what they did but when I awoke, I knew they'd been messing with my mind. They tried to strip me of my humanity. No feelings. No connection with anyone.

Michael: Why didn't you let me help you?

Nikita: There was too much surveillance. Believe me... believe me. I have to go.

Nikita: They’ve assigned me to temporary quarters while they scrub all traces of the Gelman process from my little apartment. I’ve got to say, my new pad’s almost as nice as this.

Michael: For how long?

Nikita: Two weeks.

Michael: You could stay with me.

Nikita: Are you asking me to move in with you?

Michael: You’d be more comfortable.

Nikita: Well, is this for two weeks or were you thinking of something a little more... permanent?

Michael: We’d have more privacy.

Nikita: And how is it that you think that we’re going to get away with that?

Michael: Adrian.

Nikita: I’ll think about it.

Michael: Drugs are the only thing I sell.

Helmut: Freddie... If somehow I’ve created the wrong impression here, if I made you think that I thought that I could purchase this gorgeous creature, then I’m profusely sorry. You more than anyone should know, one look at her, she’s priceless.

Michael: Then consider the cost in the event you were to break something.

Helmut: Are you threatening me? I think I’m beginning to like you.

Party Guest: Karen thinks my dress is tacky, too obvious. What do you think?

Michael: It is.

Michael: What are you thinking?

Nikita: About the man I’m going to marry. It’s one thing to convince another man that I love him enough to marry him, but the idea of not seeing you again...

Michael: You have to separate Anna’s life from Nikita’s.

Nikita: Is that what you did with Elena?

Michael: I tried.

Nikita: So even with everything that you went through, you still think it’s possible to hold on to your heart?

Madeline: Once you come through those doors, you have two choices; one is compliance, the other is self-explanatory. Make no mistake, if any of you have any delusions about leaving here, I'd erase them immediately.

Michael is rubbing Nikita's bare feet

Nikita: Michael. What's happening here?

Michael: What do you mean?

Nikita: Why the time pressure to make these kids operatives. Operations is planning something, isn't he?

Birkoff: You’re the guy who makes the life and death decisions about other people’s lives. I thought you had all the answers.

Walter: I tried to tell you to let this thing slide. But no. You had to push it. And you found out. Yes, you’ve got a twin brother. Yes, he’s free and you’re not and I’m the one that made the call. But that’s the way the cookie crumbled.

Birkoff: Only he got the cookie and I got the crumbs.

Walter: Let it go.

Birkoff: Like you let him go.

Birkoff: No, no matter how long you’ve been in here at least you know where you came from. You know who you are, do you have any idea what it felt like to know that I’m part of something? Someone? To make that connection.

Michael: A woman in love may prove to be a more formidable opponent than the one she loves.

Madeline: You have an unusual opportunity, Mr. Crawford, your fate at Section is in your hands. You feel you're ready for this?

Jason: I'll do what I have to do, Madeline, and you'll make sure nothing happens to Naomi. My brother Jason will expect you to keep up your end of the deal.

Madeline: You spent six years training and getting to know Nikita, we're not going to retrieve her on intel alone, we need a more personal profile.

Walter: Hey, Michael. You pick up on the weird buzz around here? Seems "sugar-free" leaves a bitter taste on the back of the tongue.

Quinn/Nikita: ... but have you stopped to think that maybe you don't want us to find Nikita?

Michael: For what reason?

Quinn/Nikita: Because you're in love with her.

Michael: I never loved Nikita.

Quinn/Nikita: I thought that was common knowledge.

Michael: Yes, it's what we wanted them to believe.

Quinn/Nikita: We?

Michael: Operations, Madeline. Me.

Quinn/Nikita: I've been through the databases a hundred times over, Michael. The time you spent with Nikita...

Michael: I was assigned to train her, motivate her adjustment.

Quinn/Nikita: Give her something to hang onto, to believe in.

Michael: Yes.

Quinn/Nikita: And your feelings for her? I have to give you credit, Michael, I'm beginning to understand why they value you so much around here. I'll have to figure this in. I'll let you know when I have a new profile.

Michael: Nikita was taught if exposed, to hide in plain sight.

Michael: Don't move.

Quinn/Nikita: Michael...

Michael: Hide in plain sight. Section is the last place we'd think to look.

Operations: I can't let you leave without a going-away present. Some advice? You think you're going to start a new life? You think you're leaving the violence and the fear behind? You're very much mistaken. Truth is, you were sheltered here. The dangers in Center are far worse, because they're far more subtle. Be especially careful of Mr. Jones - he's not what he seem.

Mr. Jones: I'm afraid I lied. It is not you they want. It's me. I do apologize for this whole charade, but you see, I had to make it appear convincing. We were under constant observation by my colleagues, and they certainly wouldn't allow me to give myself up. So, it all comes down to you, Nikita. I need your promise that you will return to Section and become Operations, and eventually take over for me, as I had always planned. I cannot go, if you don't say yes.

Nikita: Yes.

Mr. Jones: Good. One day you will realize it is the right decision. Always trust your father.
